you know what, i was talking to a doctor who was telling me that adhd has been put ni an all too negative light. that what we thought was a deficit or a malfunction actually under closer observation could be the human brain as it is today trying to ascend to a higher level of conciousness that can follow multiple streams of thought simultaneously.
throughout the years i don't know if i have ever heard a credable idea on why we are ticklish in the first place. we have all even heard stories of the select few that CAN tickle themselves.
these two may seem very different, but i see a link between them. I am of the idea that man has fallen from his perfect state that Adam and Eve were perfect and after the introduction of sin into mankind, all that we were and could of been was lost from our flesh for all eternity. only to be redeemed by our faith. now, along with disease death and famen i think that some of our perks got dulled. so we wind up with these litttle gizmos or thorns. and whos to say which one is good or bad, except how you use them.
maybe im hjust too much of a ray of sunshine, but the inordinate enjoyment of a specific for of physical interaction with my signifigant other doesn't bother me. so what is it about this that makes you feel as though its something that truly needs to be destroyed from your being. because honestly i never wanted it to be from mine, and most that i have talked to see it as such a gift that they couldn't imagine living without it. would you be so eager to destroy hearing some ability that allowed you to hear music in the sunshine.
I'll cut to the quick-
I never impled it was something that needed to be destroyed, merely contained, controlled, and given a place as a THING in your life, not an EXTENTION of the self. Not only can God help you sort this out, he can help you figure out in what contexts you take it, especially for a confused person or one that doesn't know what to do.
From a religious perspective, I honestly don't believe God would have a problem with this so long as it didn't take you away from Him and didn't lead to a pit of sin. You should never be satisfied with your love for God, you should seek him out more than anything in this life. That is what I believe.
If a fetish is your god, materialism is your god, etc., and you seek these things out, and to appease these desires, then you are like unto Adam and Eve.
Jesus paid the ultimate price on the cross.
All that is left for us to do is follow him. If the things of this world become more important to you than God Himself, then surely you can see how the balance is upset and fetishes and the like become much more than a facsination, much more than a habit and people convince themselves eventually that they are a psychological necessity.
All I'm saying in the end, in this situation, is that IF she wants to be completely rid of it, which is what she is proclaiming, then all I'm saying is that is completely possible, and preferable as opposed to living with it, wherein it may be a liability in the future and bring you down in a number of ways if you aren't strong enough.
Not having it, by measure of common sense, is therefore better, and less of a distraction in one's life, especially when it comes to reunifying with God after the betrayal of man.
(and woman, since Eve is technically the one who accepted it first and cajoled Adam thereafter.)
